I take, and have been taking 2000mg of Metformin a day (1000mg 2x daily) for a year and a half now. I've never had any problem with lactic acidosis, ever! Infact, I've never personally heard of anyone having that problem with it!If you need the meds, please don't fret ... know that Metformin is one of the oldest (and probably safest) anti-diabetic drugs on the market! Been around for a LONG time now!

So, if you find you can't do it on your own, please consider the meds!
